CHEMICAL PROCESS OPTIMIZATION METHOD

摘要

CHEMICAL PROCESS OPTIMIZATION METHOD of the Invention A method for producing two or more products from a production site such as an air separation plant to satisfy a given demand for each of the products in which energy consumption and the rate of product production are correlated so that product production may be determined from a conventional mixed integer linear programming model the solution of which will provide an optimum production schedule for producing product to meet total product demand at minimum energy cost over a given time horizon.
